A New Way to Engineer with Power Potion (WarWeight DOESN’T WORK)

[v1j2j3]

Just had clanwar with a super engineered clan, and I saw a strategy can go around current war MM without any penalty at all. POWER POTION! More than half of players from the other side are engineered.
10 ~ish regular TH11 and 10 ish engineered TH 11 with maxed heroes (3 th 10 war weight, 3 th9 war weight, and 4 th8&below war weight)
Many th11 with low lv heroes and high lv warden
Many th10 with med th9 war weight

Almost all their rushed th11/10 are using power potion to boost troops, and suddenly lv 1 troops became maxed and overpowered our th 9 and 10 bases. Obviously this is a new engineering method, and it gives an unfair advantage. Power potion should have some restrictions. The new update made buying power potion possible, and clan war might become pay to win in the future.

BTW, we have 5 0.5 for 50vs50 war if you are wondering. And I am trying to let them upgrade defense and become a normal one. We searched for about 30-45 mins.

For science sake how much of each th did you bring?

And on a side note, 50v50 is a ♥♥♥♥ shoot

Lot of us saw the potential as soon as power potions dropped. Hasn't been too much of a problem yet (though I'm working to make it a problem for my opponents) but expect it to get worse as accounts are optimized for it.
MM changes have lessened the effect I think (I think there's some degree of TH matching added) but a smart PCP optimized account will still be an advantage. I don't expect SC to worry much about it.

It looks like power potion may just become the topic of the day.
The mist is clearing, regarding the start up of clan games, and the introduction of power potion. It has been an isolated problem, so far, but now they are getting a handle on the various forms of engineering, then the need for PPE will increase, for anyone wishing to gain war advantage.
Power Potion Engineering may well become the new forte, and if so, the availability of gaining them will lessen to simply a taster, thru the games, unless there is a big enough gem usage during clan games. The new revenue drive seems to be the merchant now, where anything will be available, at a cost.
It is a pity, as I thought they were genuinely acting on behalf of the war community, with the work they done to turn the war game around. But I suppose they are a business, and our pleasure is their livelihood. Can only hope, that the high cost of the potions, prevents them from becoming too widespread a problem.

PPE... I like that Josh. I'll be using that in future!

It's an interesting one for sure. The lab only PPE() accounts take time to build and any TH matching routine or incremental Lab weight may distort the effectiveness. Then there's the availability of Power potions. Perhaps the trader may well become an important player in war in the future.

If I was a hyper engineer, which I'm not, I'd probably focus on a building a TH9 lab account, a bit like that Martian Timmy (?!?) account with upgraded Hogs only, but this kind of engineering across a roster would be time consuming to build from scratch.

So far, the complaints about PPE have been limited would you agree?

Yes limited so far. But we're only a couple months out from when it was added, I recall from the March Mistake it wasn't until summer that things got really silly as everyone adapted to the change.

But like I said, if they're doing some th matching that'll limit the damage. And its PCP potion or PCP engineering, too late to change!

To be honest, I don't have much hope to the dev team. Too much political correctness there, and they won't even see the problem. I pointed out eng clan will ruin MM and this game two years ago, but they insisted let everybody do the way she/he wants. I was frustrated and our clan started engineering. I guess when engineers hit certain number, they will start dealing it.I also contacted SC, but the response was hopeless. The one replied me did even see the potential threat to fair play.

To make this even worse, money talks.
